I received the box this morning. Everything is in excellent shape.

I must be dreaming.......

There is an amazing assortment of cigars in the Box, along with a SUPER gift smoke for each player. Guys, wait until you see what Frank has put in there for each of you. As always with Frank, Top Shelf all the way.

I am starting a Host bag in appreciation of Frank's efforts and generousity with this pass. It's going to be a great one, so strap in everyone and enjoy the ride.

Thanks Frank, for the more than generous gift you included for me. I am truly humbled my friend.

I'll post my plays Sunday. I have to go into the office where most of my collection is stored in a vault (just kidding) to arrange my trades. I'll ship the box to Michael on Monday. I'll also e-mail him first and make sure he is not travelling at his time.

We are on our way......

ooooo I cant wait.

Its the least I could do for all your help on this Gan, glad you liked the gift. I want to apologize again to everyone for being MIA the last couple of days, but I'm changing my high-speed service and they have forgotten about me 2 days in a row now. I have to be quick as I'm at a friends again using his computer, but just wanted to say enjoy the pass and I'll get back to everyones questions as soon as I resolve this darn computer issue. Have fun.

Very nice...can't wait. I have some very special sticks set aside just for this...

Box arrived this afternoon, and all I can say is GEEEEZZZZZZ!
I just kinda stood there for a few minutes with my jaw on the floor! What an incredible job Frank has done.
How am I supposed to make a choice out of all these premium cigars???
My thanks for including me in the pass.
I'm definitely going to have to spend a few hours this evening try to sort it all out....
And thank you for the gift Frank, it IS appreciated.

Michael

To add a little more excitement to this and try something new, I've decided to add 1 more person who would want to be included in the pass. It has to be someone I've had successful trades with in the past or is a seasoned veteren on the boards here. You'll be added into the mix somewhere down the line and like I offered to everyone else involved, you will have your choice of a MC #2, Litto Gomez Chisel or 98 Perdomo made LVH torp. from me as a gift to enjoy while you contemplate your selections. I'll e-mail to you the rules and a list of the cigars in the box and other than that, the only thing you would have to do different than everyone else is actually write in your name and address on the Priority Mail label rather than have one that is pre-filled already included with the box. Here Goes:

The first person to give me the # between 1 and 50 that I've written down is in. Good luck everyone.

You know what guys, its a little late and didn't figure on this screwing up this thread for the pass thats already started so I'll put up a new one for the contest. Sorry!
